<h4><a name="tag_04_134_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The <i>strip</i> utility shall remove from executable files named by the <i>file</i> operands any information the implementor
|
|
deems unnecessary for execution of those files. The nature of that information is unspecified. The effect of <i>strip</i> shall be
|
|
similar to the use of the <b>-s</b> option to <a href="../utilities/c99.html"><i>c99</i></a> or <a href=
|
|
"../utilities/fort77.html"><i>fort77</i></a>.</p>

<h4><a name="tag_04_134_18"></a>RATIONALE</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Historically, this utility has been used to remove the symbol table from an executable file. It was included since it is known
|
|
that the amount of symbolic information can amount to several megabytes; the ability to remove it in a portable manner was deemed
|
|
important, especially for smaller systems.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The behavior of <i>strip</i> is said to be the same as the <b>-s</b> option to a compiler. While the end result is essentially
|
|
the same, it is not required to be identical.</p>
